Meer over het boek

André Campra, a prominent Baroque composer and conductor, significantly influenced French music during his career. He held prestigious positions as music director in various cathedrals, including Notre Dame de Paris. Transitioning to theatrical compositions in 1697, he cleverly published works under his brother's name to safeguard his reputation. By 1700, Campra left his cathedral role to focus solely on theatre, achieving notable success and leaving a lasting impact on the musical landscape of his time.
